Welcome to Litsy!

Happy Saturday evening everyone! Here's to good #beer, good books, and good smokes!

#BooksWithBeer #PipeSmoking

Enjoying reading Chad Van Dixhoorn's commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith, aptly titled “Confessing the Faith”. This is an excellent in-depth analysis of the classic/timeless 17th century doctrinal statement by which the Presbyterian Church is governed.

#Smoking some Presbyterian Mixture in my pipe.

Not in the frame is Sierra Nevada Tropical Torpedo IPA. #BooksWithBeer

Great read! Pairing with The Truth imperial IPA from Flying Dog brewing Co, and smoking Orlik Golden Sliced in my Missouri Meerschaum cob #pipe on this beautiful day 😁

So I started this one, ironically enough, on my phone. Then I moved over to the laptop 😜

I checked this out on #Hoopla today. Really enjoying it so far. Of course, I'm drinking a Guinness tonight ;)

Cheers, and amen! 🍻 #BooksWithBeer

A good beer and a good book makes for a great afternoon. “Santa's Cookies” Imperial Oatmeal Stout (Champion Brewing of Charlottesville, VA) is a nice treat for a frigid day such as this. I'm finding great encouragement and a troves of wisdom in Iain Murray's biography covering the first 40 years of the life of Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Glad I bought this one as recommended by Paul Washer.

#Relaxing after a long day at the office... Not pictured is my glass of Live Free or Die #IPA from 21st Amendment #BooksWithBeer #Ecclesiology

In celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, tonight's post is all about the theology of Calvin and the thirst of Luther. Over halfway through this one, & it's a little deeper/heavier reading than anticipated, but it's still good stuff, and I *DO* recommend it (and pretty much anything by Sproul). Drinking a Troegenator (doublebock) by Tröeg's Brewing. #BooksWithBeer #Theology #Calvinism #Reformed

On to the next read...🤓

I scoffed at the quote on the cover when I first picked this up, but it's true. The lessons learned from this book have been transformative for me. I have more joy in my life, I have less anxiety, I don't struggle with depression like I did before. It took me about 3 months to get through the whole thing, but it was well worth it, and I'll likely re-read someday.

Thoroughly enjoying a Ghost Hammer IPA from Stone Brewing tonight. #BooksWithBeer
